Predeceased by husband Andy, sister Irene Desbien and enfant brother James. Survived by children Daryl, Gary (Cari Ann), Dave (Carmen), Lisa (Scott); grandchildren Shannon, Brittany, Lance, Weston, Quinn, Shelby and Alisa; sister Linda Yeager and other extended family members.
Born in the southern interior of BC, Doreen married Andy in 1956 and the couple moved to Port Alberni to start their family. Doreen loved being around her family and her home. When she first moved to the valley she worked briefly for the optometrist in Woodwards before working a number of years as a Chambermaid for the Tyee Village Motel and later as a school noon hour supervisor.
A private family gathering will be held at a later date.
If friends and family so wish, donations in Doreen’s memory may be made to the Alzheimers society or the Fir Park/Echo Village Foundation, 4411 Wallace Ave, Port Alberni, V9Y 7Y5
